9 Motivation Factors influencing popularity Community or Forum Time of posting Title of submission Popularity of user Previous submissions of same content + Content and their confounding interplay!

10 Motivation Factors influencing popularity Community or Forum Time of posting How do we Title of submission tease Popularity apart of user Previous submissions of same content these effects? + Content and their confounding interplay!

11 Teasing apart.. How do we tease apart effects of various factors? Dataset which accomodates Resubmissions of same content Submissions across multiple communities Communities with varying characteristics Submissions by multiple users

12 Teasing apart.. Reddit to the rescue!

13 Teasing apart.. Our Dataset A novel dataset of 132K reddit submissions Every piece of content (image) submitted multiple times 16.7K original submissions Average of 7 resubmissions per image Data available at

14 Our Goal To study the effect of the interplay between content, title, communities on a submission's popularity To understand how much of a submission's popularity is due to its Inherent quality Community choice Time of posting Characteristics of submission title

15 Our Approach Model the popularity of a submission as a combination of various factors Evaluate the goodness of the model by predicting popularity How do we quantify popularity? Reddit score = # of upvotes - # of downvotes

16 Our Contributions Popularity = Community Model + Language Model Community model: choice of community + time of submission + previous submissions of same content Language model: linguistic features of submission title + language of community and, a novel dataset which allows the study of various factors

18 Related Work Predicting the success of social media content Content based approaches [Bandari et. al.] [Tsagkias et. al.] [Yano et. al.] Understanding the relationship between language and social engagement Analysis of lexical features [Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil et. al.] [Hong et. al.] [Petrovic et. al.] [Suh et al.] Our work focusses on the interplay between content, lexical features, communities and the resulting composite effect on popularity

19 Insights Understanding community activity Popularity varies with time of the day

20 Insights Understanding community activity Content is less popular with each resubmission

21 Insights Understanding community activity Resubmittions are forgiven given enough time

22 Insights Understanding inter-community effects gifs funny WTF space pics reddit.com aww gifs funny WTF space pics reddit.com aww Don't resubmit to same community (diagonal) Don't resubmit highly visible content (rows)

23 Our Approach Community Model Input Output Inherent popularity Resubmission decay Popularity Forgetfulness Inter-community effects

24 Our Approach Language Model Language of a Community Targeting title to a community Content Specificity Title reflecting content Title Originality Novelty of the title Sentiment polarity, POS tags, # of words in title

25 Insights Understanding language characteristics Titles should balance novelty and familiarity

26 Insights Understanding language characteristics Resubmissions benefit from novel titles

27 Insights Understanding language characteristics Various communities prefer different POS

28 Quantitative Evaluation Predicting reddit score Evaluating predictive power on a held out test set of 25% of the data Coefficient of determination R 2 statistic (value of 1.0 indicates perfect fit) Model R 2 Community Model Language-only Model Community + Language 0.618

29 Qualitative Evaluation

30 Qualitative Evaluation Top 10% (++) Top 25% (+) Bottom 25% (-) Bottom 10% (--)

31 Qualitative Evaluation Top 10% (++) Top 25% (+) Bottom 25% (-) Bottom 10% (--)

32 In Situ Evaluation Real time action on Reddit! A sample of 85 images from our dataset Assigned a good and a bad title for each image Total score of all good submissions is 3 times higher 2 of our good submissions hit Reddit front page 3 more featured on front pages of communities

33 Conclusion Popularity is effected by the interplay of various content, language and community specific aspects We propose models which disentangle these effects Modeling these effects helps us understand what fraction of popularity can be attributed to each of these factors
